Various exteriors Dominion Theatre 2. B-roll Donny Osmond talking to press 3. SOT Donny Osmond: "Well I mean, it stands the test of time. As I was just saying a second ago, the music holds up, even today. I think when 'Wayne's World' came out it gave it a whole new audience, but it just holds up." 4. CU Freddie Mercury lookalike 5. SOT Brenda Blethyn: "I don't go to many musicals, actually, but I love Queen, absolutely love Queen, and I'm also a fan of Ben Elton." 6. CU Emma Thompson with husband Greg Wise 7. SOT Emma Thompson: "There's so many bands who've been covered in that way, from the Beatles to Abba, you know, and I went to an Abba concert in New York, it was done by people doing Abba, and it was absolutely cool and everybody sang along and it was just like being at an Abba concert. I don't think this is like that, because there's a story with the Queen songs in, so I think it's a cut above." 8. Tilt up Queen fan with jacket covered in patches and picture of Freddie Mercury 9. SOT Richard Branson, former record executive and business tycoon: "What would Freddie have made of it? I think he would have been incredibly pleased to have been here, I mean he left behind some incredible songs, lots of incredible fans who are still there today, and to have actually seen his music in the theatre, in the West End, I'm sure he would have been very chuffed." 10.

SOT Roger Taylor: "Well I thought it would be a difficult thing to make work, but I think between Ben and ourselves we've got something that's a great night's entertainment and very uplifting." 16. SOT Brian May: "It's to do with the legend of Queen if you like, or the spirit of Queen, although we're not in it and it's not about us, it's not in the past, it's in the future, so it's ideal." 17.

SOT Brian May: "Very very well I thought. Going to go and have a little relax now." 21. SOT Ben Elton: "First nights are normally crap frankly, because it's always a professional crowd in, you know lots of people haven't paid for their tickets, so I expected it to be awful and in fact it was thrilling and wonderful. Have you spoken to anyone interesting?" Yeah, I've spoken to Bob De Niro and he absolutely loved it and spontaneously wanted to have his picture taken with the whole company which was really generous of him and I think it's because he loved the show so much and so we've had a big kerfuffle backstage while everyone assembles and, of course, everyone is getting individual photos with him and he's been really good about it, really good." (Q reporter: "And how was it writing it? How did you get all those lines in there?" "Well Roger and Brian have been very generous about the fact that they always said this must make a good book - it must be a real story. They didn't want to do a jukebox they really wanted to have a play that said something in a way sort of not more than but beside the music as well so they were very encouraging about the details of the story so yeah it's been great." VNR File - Recent 19. Excerpt from 'We Will Rock You' 20. VS curtain call with Ben Elton and Queen - audience applauding CURTAIN FINALLY LIFTED ON QUEEN MUSICAL Robert De Niro appeared on Tuesday night at the world premiere of the new Queen musical 'We Will Rock You', which he helped produce, and upheld his reputation as a man of few words. Flanked by Brian May and Roger Taylor, members of the Queen rock band, and comedian Ben Elton, who wrote the show, De Niro appeared at London's Dominion Theatre. De Niro and business partner Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions is one of three producing entities behind the spectacle, which has a company of 37. The musical is among the costliest West End musicals to date. The futuristic 7.5 (m) million pound (11 million US dollar) production has been some six years in the making. The plot imagines a world which has become homogenised through globalisation and where musical instruments have been banned. But a group of rebels set out to find mythical electric guitars which have been set in stone many years earlier. Initially there were plans to base the musical on the story of the band Queen, but guitarist Brian May admitted that would have been "embarrassing" for the figures involved. Elton collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber to create the musical 'The Beautiful Game', which has since closed due to the slump in the West End.
